1932
What happened in Vermont, 1932
In 1932, Vermont awarded its 3 electoral votes to Hoover of the Republican party. The presidency went elsewhere: Franklin D. Roosevelt (Democratic) won nationally, while Vermont had backed a different ticket.
Vermont stayed in the Republican column for the 20th straight cycle, extending a run that began in 1856. It stood apart from its neighbors: New York, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire went the other way that year. Over its 59 recorded presidential cycles, Vermont has backed the Republican party more than any other — 33 times in all. The vote fell within the New Deal Coalition — FDR, civil rights, and the long Democratic majority.
Nationally, Franklin D. Roosevelt finished with 472 of the 531 electoral votes to Herbert Hoover's 59. Franklin D. Roosevelt led the national popular vote with 57.41% of the ballots cast.
